Hi all Great to see another one of these in use. I think I prefer the door on yours compared to mine. I've always been a fan of chrome doors. During the big freeze my Hottie was wheeled inside and used as our main machine. I must say I love it! (BTW the other machines were drained to prevent...

Hi all Having owned a modern Hottie, which I left at my last property this is what I liked, disliked - Disliked Over sensitive out of balance Repetitive distribution (unlike Zanussi which adjusts accordingly and quickly) Quiet but fairly noisy on top spin Cheaply made, door catch would not...

Hi all and thanks for your comments. I was tempted to give them a work address and see what happens. It's the 'can't say much' that sounds so dodgy. I must admit I was wondering whether they might want to try and get their hands on my collection but I would have thought that was unlikely. Maybe...

Hi all I have been sent an email by someone asking for my address as they want to send me a Miele present?? I'm a bit suspicious about this. They said it comes from seeing my Miele vids and they can't say too much. What do you think and has anyone else received anything? Many thanks Rob

I agree totally with Matt (Electon 800). The Aqualtis is fine but it does have a noisy cheap pump and is starting to get noisier on spin. Bear in mind I don't use it that much. I much prefer the Jetsystem I have which I got for £340. Remember these are Indesit type machines and the out of...

Finally the S218T. I have linked my vids if you are interested. Rob http://uk.youtube.com/user/Buxtedlad

Finally in 89 she got a Bauckneckt. Here is a pic of her tiny kitchen. Note the dishwasher we bought in 88.

Apologies, did not have the Servis pic in the end. Between 87-89 she had this exact machine! Hotpoint 9530.

Hi all, here are my lot. In the 70s my mother used this Servis twinny. It's very vague to be honest and it used to annoy me that I could not see the spinner even slowing down. Between 82-87 she got a Philips top loader. Again I could not see anything but used to stick a spoon in the catch when...

Bless him, I think he has many demons, which is evident in his self sabotaging behaviour. I've heard that aside from the drugs he is a nice guy. I have seen this with some friends who have changed because of drink and drugs. I understand the prison service have given him special treatment...

Hi Alasdair and Matthew Alasdair - Thanks for the link, have been looking for that. So great to find. Matthew - Alas these are soooo rare! And if one does come up there will be a long queue and I imagine a very high price tag. I remember someone asking about a purple door Liberator and they...

Just trying again! Does anyone remember this play? It's also been shown in the states. Rob

Hello Alasdair Thanks for your post! I hope you enjoy this space. I know a bit about Aspergers because my sister's little boy is autistic. I know one of the many signs of Aspergers is a fascination with spinning objects and water. It is no surprise to find that washing machines would be of...

Hi Keith I hope you didn't mind me putting the pic on here. Some nice old washers. Rob

Hi all Does anyone remember a wonderful play called 'Absurd Person Singular' by Alan Ayckbourn? It's set in 3 different kitchens over 3 Christmases with 3 very different couples. The picture attached will be the first couple and the wife cannot stop cleaning, there is a discussion over her...

Garry has now replied to me and this is what he said about the site - . . . Like most of the stuff in the show - I found the recycling yard down the road near me on the outskirts of Rochdale. They removed working parts and refurbed washing machines and sold them on to local 'cowboy' retailers...

Asked Garry Hi all, I have asked Garry where the site was and hopefully I shall hear back soon. The program was a few years back so it may have moved on. Rob
